THE JEWISH POST AND OPINION

Center Makes Statement On Activities For Poor

The Indianapolis Jewish Community Center is not engaged in any activities for the poor and the disadvantaged, it was learned this week following a national report that 59 Jewish Centers had launched such efforts. Julius Dorfman, executive director of the Indianapolis Jewish Community Center, told The Indiana Jewish POST and OPINION that the idea of such projects had been discussed but they were abandoned because other Jewish agencies in Indianapolis undertook them. The report from the National Jewish Welfare Board, the parents organisation of the Jewish Community Centers listed the work in the 59 centers as Head Start programs, child care centers, tutorial and remedial reading programs, training of volunteers for anti-poverty progi'ams, job training opportunities and inclusion of poor and minority children in camp and other Center activities. Such community work has generated problems or conflicts, 26 Jewish centers reported. Sixteen centers noted overt objections by a “very small minority” of members, mostly to Negro children using facilities or services. But the JWB report emphasized that “no Center has changed its policy or procedures as a consequence of such objections.’* The JWB repo't tt.at the overwhelming majority of Center executive directors believed that involvement in such activities was “a valid expression of Jewish commitment and values without ‘adverse affect’ on the Center’s primary function of serving the Jewish community.” While Negroes are the major group served in the community programs, Puerto Ricans and Mexican Americans are being helped and the Centers are also more active in seeking and serving, impoverished Jews, particularly the aged. Jewish Center expenditures from their own budgets for such services to the poor represented a very modest proportion of their total budgets, rarely being more than $10,000 annually for any Center. In addition to their own programs, members of the board of directors of many Centers were very active in such and those Centers which have set up committees on social legislation and governmental action tend to have very active participation by staff and trustees in community programs for the poor.
